Amateurs would doubtless, — by consulting 

 8ome of the experienced landscape gardeners 

 .at Cataracqui, Benmore, Beauvoir, March- 

 mont, Hamwood, &c. , — acquire most valuable 

 hints how to identify, cultivate and where to 

 find the above fronded plants. 



Before closing these hasty remarks, we may 

 state that Ferns ai*e cultivated in diverse 

 ways. 



1. From their spores, or seeds, deposited in 

 pots with earth in a damp, still warm atmo- 

 sphere. 



2. In artificial Rockeries, made out of 

 " massive fragments of old mossy rocks, &c.," 

 placed near a steep bank, if possible, and 

 well shaded from the south by trees. It re- 

 quires of course some art, in order to give to 

 these structures the needed ruggedness of 

 outline, &c., to imitate nature. 



3. By forming out of tree-stumps and damp 

 mould a Rootery with a suitable shaded 

 aspect, against the wall if possible, — a cherish- 

 ed home for several varieties of Ferns.
